City Council voted to rescind its previous denial of a special use permit for a 180-unit multi-use apartment building during Tuesday’s legislative meeting.
Council voted 4-3 during the March 13 public hearing to deny a permit from developer West Street Acquisitions, LLC to build the project across from the Braddock Road Metro station. As initially proposed, the project would include 180 units of housing – 14 of which would be affordable – as well as space for retail, restaurants and other shopping uses.
The project was originally approved 6-1 by the Planning Commission in December, but during the March hearing, several members of council expressed concerns around the project’s potential impact on the city’s stormwater system and a relative lack of affordable housing.
